You have ten minutes on a commute and want a Dragon Ball fight that does not demand fast reflexes. Dokkan Battle from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. is built for that: you tap and link Ki Spheres at your own pace, and enough of them trigger Super Attacks like Goku's Kamehameha or Vegeta's Final Flash. Characters run from DBZ to DBS, all drawn in 2D illustrations and animations.
First steps after installing Dokkan Battle
The game needs Android 9 or later and is free to download, with ads and in-app purchases. The store listing flags random-item purchases, so check that setting on your account before spending anything.
Start with Quest mode. It uses a board game-style map and a new story that asks you to restore order to the Dragon Ball timeline. After that, build a first team and train and Awaken your characters, which is how they gain power.
Ki Spheres, Super Attacks and the Z to Super roster
Combat is an action puzzle. You tap and link Ki Spheres to attack, then enter Dokkan Mode to finish enemies. Collect enough spheres and Super Attacks fire, from Goku's Kamehameha to Vegeta's Final Flash, shown in 2D illustrations and animations.
The roster spans DBZ and DBS, with rivals such as Frieza, Cell, Beerus and Jiren. Beyond Quest mode, the listing names Dokkan Events, the World Tournament, Extreme Z-Battle and Super Battle Road for harder fights.
When DRAGON BALL LEGENDS or GEKISHIN SQUADRA fits better
Dokkan Battle is about planning and puzzle linking. If you want a different take on Dragon Ball, the catalog lists DRAGON BALL LEGENDS and DRAGON BALL GEKISHIN SQUADRA as alternatives.
Check their pages first to see how they play. Anyone who dislikes random-item purchases should also weigh that before installing this one.
